Enable SSH on Target Host

Refer: https://gist.github.com/slowkow/8798394

The hostname of your remote server.

host=myserver.com

Create this folder if it does not exist: ~/.ssh

mkdir ~/.ssh

Set the correct permissions (required)

chmod 700 ~/.ssh

Generate an RSA key pair for identification with the remote server

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Copy your public key to the remote server

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh $host 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'

ssh is very strict about correct permissions, let's not change home folder persmissions

chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

At this point, you can connect to your server without typing a password:

ssh username@myserver.com

Install Wine on Ubuntu 18.04 with PlayOnLinux

Refer: http://tipsonubuntu.com/2019/02/01/install-wine-4-0-ubuntu-18-10-16-04-14-04/

The official wine repository offers Ubuntu packages for all current Ubuntu releases, so you can easily install it via following steps:

1. Open terminal from application menu, then run command to enable 32 bit architecture:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Type user password (no visual feedback) when it prompts and hit Enter.

2. Run command to download and add the repository key:

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

sudo apt-key add winehq.key

3. For Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19.x, run command to add the repository:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'

For other releases, replace bionic in the code with:

cosmic for Ubuntu 18.10.
xenial for Ubuntu 16.04, and Linux Mint 18.x.
trusty for Ubuntu 14.04.

4. Finally check system package cache and install Wine 4.0:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

For Ubuntu 18.04 and higher, you can skip apt-get update as it’s done after adding PPA.

How to Use Wine in Ubuntu:

Once installed, you need to generate configuration file by running command:

winecfg

It prompts you to install some libraries and finally launches the configuration dialog.

To run a .exe file, right-click on file, select “Open with Other Application”, and choose “Wine Windows Program Loader”.

Uninstall:

To remove Wine repository, go to Software & Updates -> Other Software, highlight the repository line and remove it.

Now you can install PlayOnLinux with the software store...
